Liberty St. 1915

[Earlscourt_Lad]

A great picture showing artillery shells piled along Liberty St., during the First World War.

What I find very interesting about this, is that you can see the construction of the Toronto Carpet building. The distinctive arches that really (imo) make the building are being framed in wood in preparation for the brick. Great stuff.

There is a good restaurant in the building on the right of the photo.

A friend of mine - 'Nezam' - runs it. Good eats. About $50. dinner for 2 with tip, no booze.

I hope you don't mean "No Regrets"? I work in that building and have had many a bad lunch there. Though I can honestly say I've never been there for dinner.
